DH just called. He was on his way across the street at work when he was attacked by a....are you ready for it....?....a HUMMINGBIRD. Really. He ran and popped out his leg. He is on his way home now. Gotta watch out for those killer hummingbirds!
Someone in Maryland has obviously been reading this book!!!
In Australia we get attacked by magpies.
ReplyDeleteI didn't previously know that hummingbirds were a danger!
ReplyDeleteUpdate: Dh just got home and said it was a mockingbird. Ruined my post, lol!
ReplyDeleteMocking birds do have attitudes. I mean, their name says it all. They spend their lives "mocking" other animals. I'm glad DH survived the brutal assault. Working in a preschool, it brings to mind, I might have said, "Use your words, plesae." That's what we tell the kids when they get very upset and agitated. LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL! He's improving slowly, thank God.
ReplyDeleteThat was me. Bus-ted!
ReplyDeleteOh . . . if you're in Oscar Scherer State Park in Osprey, Florida, beware the Killer Scrub Jays! These puny birds fear nothing and no one.
ReplyDeleteOne of my mother's best friends, who is in her 70's, still fears birds after a similar attack.
ReplyDeleteIf I've told D-Bil once, I've told him a 1000 times, when you go south of the Mason-Dixon line, you must wear camo, or the hummingbirds WILL
ReplyDeleteget you. Maryland hummingbirds for
millenia have threatened mankind. It has only been within the past 823 years, that we and they have learned to somewhat co-exist, although there is always electricity in the air at any time bird and human meet. The Maryland Hummingbird (Hummingbird Liberalis) is an especially annoying type.
D-Bil can print this out and take it to work as an excuse for missing work, as the birds were blocking the border...
I'm sure that most of the Maryland hummingbirds are "Hummingbird Liberalis" type!
